Intro: 3/4  |     |   %   |   %   |  %  |

   D                          G               Em7
1. In comes the train and the whole plat-form shakes
      A            A7             G             D
   It stops with a shud-der and a scream-ing of brakes
       D                        G           Em7
   The part-ing has come and my wea-ry soul aches 
       A           A7      G     D
   I'm leav-ing my Nan-cy, oh |     |

           D                         G            Em7
2. But you stand there so calm-ly de-ter-mine-dly gay
           A           A7             G            D
   And you talk of the wea-ther and e-vents of the day
            D                          G               Em7
   But your eyes tell me all that your tongue does-n't say
        A      A7      G     D
   Good-bye my Nan-cy, oh |     |

            D              G      Em7
Chorus: And come a lit-tle clo-ser 
                 A      A7     G     D
        Put your head u-pon my shoul-der
            D               G        Em7
        And let me hold you one more time
           A        A7       G        D
        Be-fore the whis-tle blows |     |  %  |  %  |

      D                        G             Em7
3. My suit-case is lift-ed and stowed on the train
         A            A7            G           D
   And a thous-and re-grets whirl a-round in my brain
           D                     G            Em7
   And the ache in my heart is a black sea of pain
       A           A7      G     D
   I'm leav-ing my Na-ncy, oh |     |

           D                         G          Em7
4. And you stand there so calm-ly so love-ly to see
           A            A7           G          D
   But the grip of your hand it's an un-spo-ken plea 
              D                             G            Em7
   You're not fool-ing your-self and you're not fool-ing me 
        A      A7      G     D
   Good-bye my Nan-cy, oh |     |

            D              G      Em7
Chorus: And come a lit-tle clo-ser 
                 A      A7     G     D
        Lay your head u-pon my shoul-der
            D               G        Em7
        And let me hold you one more time
           A        A7       G        D
        Be-fore the whis-tle blows |     |  %  |  %  |

           D                        G            Em7
5. But our time has run out and the whis-tle has blown
       A           A7        G           D
   And here I must leave you stand-ing a-lone
          D                   G              Em7
   We had so lit-tle time and now the time's gone
        A      A7      G     D
   Good-bye my Nan-cy, oh |     |

       D                   G          Em7
6. And as the train starts gen-tly to roll
       A         A7         G           D
   And as I lean out for to wave and to call
     D                    G            Em7
   I see your first tears tri-ckle and fall
        A      A7      G     D
   Good-bye my Nan-cy, oh |     |

            D              G       Em7
Chorus: And come a lit-tle clo-ser 
                 A      A7     G     D
        Put your head u-pon my shoul-der
            D               G        Em7
        And let me hold you one more time
           A        A7       G        D
        Be-fore the whis-tle blows |     |


            D              G      Em7
Chorus: And come a lit-tle clo-ser 
                 A      A7     G     D
        Lay your head u-pon my shoul-der
            D               G        Em7
        And let me hold you one more time
           A        A7       G        D
        Be-fore the whis-tle blows |     |
            D               G        Em7
        And let me hold you one more time
           A        A7       G        D
        Be-fore the whis-tle blows |     |
